Great quiz. This should be featured, IMO.

Surprised Eddie Mathews (the Brookfield Bomber) didn't make the cut here. One of the greatest Braves of all time. Only guy to play for the Braves in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

Was going to suggest also including one of the best names in MLB history, "Biff" Pocoroba. But after looking him up, I realized his first name actually was Biff!

Whose that? I feel like lots of different players in different sports have had that name.
